Of the 234 games the 42-year-old has been in charge, he has won 142, drawn 35 and lost 57. He has won the FA Cup once and the Community Shield twice while in charge of the North London club.

While the style of play has no doubt changed at the Emirates, the most notable change is the mentality of the players and the dressing room. Arteta has helped transform their approach to the game, and it clearly shows in their results.

The coach has been supported in the transfer window extensively as well, and it remains to be seen whether he can bring the Premier League trophy back to North London within the next three years.
